Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England’s Kings and Queens - David Mitchell Audiobook
Shared by:MojoYugen

Format: MP3
A rollicking history of England’s earliest kings and queens, a story of narcissists, excessive beheadings, middle-management insurrection, uncivil wars, and more, from award-winning British actor and comedian David Mitchell
Think you know the kings and queens of England? Think again.
In Unruly , David Mitchell explores how early England’s monarchs, while acting as feared rulers firmly guiding their subjects’ destinies, were in reality a bunch of lucky bastards who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear to us today in their portraits.
Taking us right back to King Arthur ( he didn’t exist), Mitchell tells the founding story of post-Roman England right up to the reign of Elizabeth I ( she dies), as the monarchy began to lose its power. It’s a tale of bizarre and curious ascensions, inadequate self-control, and at least one total Cnut, as the English evolved from having their crops stolen by the thug with the largest armed gang to bowing and paying taxes to a divinely anointed King.
How this happened, who it happened to, and why the hell it matters are all questions Mitchell answers with brilliance, wit, and the full erudition of a man who once studied history—and is damned if he’ll let it off the hook for the mess it’s made of everything.
A funny book that takes history seriously, Unruly is for anyone who has ever wondered how the monarchy came to be—and who is to blame.

Reminds me of the time I was engaged to a beautiful Asian woman who was extremely chaste. Given the cultural differences I finally could contain myself no longer and I had to ask. When we’re married how often will we have sex? “In…frequently” [doesn’t really work when written but play along].
“Is that one word or two?”

Ought to be significantly better than Stephen Fry’s insufferably self-indulgent extracurricular efforts.
It’s always necessary to be extremely careful when referencing King Cnut.

I’m hoping there’s a bit where one character turns to another and asks: “are we the baddies?”
